No Monday Newsletter Due To Long Weekend Holiday

By David Farrell

The Victoria Day weekend, or National Patriots Day, if you live in Quebec, in normal times, is when many of us fire up the BBQ, open up ‘the cottage’ or re-establish order and nurture life into backyards. Well, the 2020 edition comes with a manifest of limitations, but, hey, we need the break and perhaps you need a break from us. Either way, Monday’s a holiday and so Team FYI is sodding off for a bit of fun without sun, but we’ll be back like a flock of crows during planting season on Wednesday. Until then, the best from us to you.

The track from the Quebec band enters at No. 30 over a year after its release, picking up steam on the radio airwaves. Ariane Moffatt's “Jouer” also reaches a new peak, marking the second consecutive week with two charting French songs.

French-language music makes its mark on the Canadian charts this week.

Les Cowboys Fringants have made their latest Billboard debut with their song “Merci ben!” which arrives at No. 30 on the Canada AC chart for May 10. The country-folk track finds the band thanking its fans while reminiscing on its beginnings and milestones, from playing small bars to sold-out arenas. The track’s title is Quebec jargon for “Thank you very much!”
